To all whcmt" it may concern: Be it known that I OHABIES Been, a. sub-. ject of the Kin of Great Britain, residing at Toronto, in t e county oi York and,Prov-- 5 in'ce of Ontario, have invented a. new and useful Improvement in Printing- Ink Reteinersyof which the following is a specifica- 1on.' i I My. invention-relates to a receptacle forp v ink, and is so constructed that the mkmay be taken from the-receptecle by degreee,-in any amount desired. w

The rec'e ta'ele'is so constructed thetiefter the remo of any portion of the inkit may be seeledinstantly topreserve the ink from deterioration atmospheric action, particularly asjregards preventing11 skin form'- infi fiverthe top, an from drying. t

. v e viceis composed of two essential zoparts, the recepteolefor the ink, and the --stend end i The receptacle is Poonstructed wiEh-e push 'bottom and it slip cover. The .sli f cover is formed with an .opening' throu ;t he to land is provided -'w1tht.-r emo a; 1e 013p} e-press on which thereceptecle is a apted to be supported and firmly held'in position, is constructed o t with a" screw plunger 1edeptedto engage underrthe-hotton si e 'of the push bottom of '30 the rece tacle and is adapted to be vertically ad'usterf by a hend'wheel, and bythe vertica a;d;uslnnentio the'plunger, the push botytom o the receptacle i's' forced upward, by which ectionithe; ink-is forced out of the gelling through the to of the cover whene cap is removed.- e ress-is formed :with afclenipingl-cttw an on adjustable thumb-nut by. w .it'ma be deta.chably connected to a. gross, stun vor shelf, confor'the purpose of getting I-ettein theseflobjeetsiby the device a he eooompenyi1ig-dm in in. which;

Formed. in the slip top a is a raise section d formed with a, flat top a, and formed through the flat top is a circular o ening f; Adcptedto firmly engage over it e raised seotiond is a removal) e cap it, the cap beinguttaohed totheslip top by a chain .i or b5 some other flexible connection. Gemenb 'e to the underside of the on It is a semicirculer piece of cork, orsim' ar material 7' adapted to engeg'efin the opening f to provide a seel'. w.

The push bottom. 6 is formed with a raised section In confor'min with the shape of the raised s'ectiond in t eslip' top and is adapted to engage into the raised. section in the sli top when raised to the top of the rece tao e so that the.entire contents may e forced out thro h the opening in the top. The push bottonii b is formed wlth 'e flange'l extending around theouter circumference which istadapted to engage "against the in-. nor wells of the receptace 1a,; and is suificiently deep to prevent it from twisting or becoming misplaced. The web of the push bottom 6 is slightl turned upwardly around the outer circum erence to form-an acute angliuoidge m with the flange'l.

e the flange? is adapted to-the u rpose of sup orting the-push bottom wi hm a, it is'also edepted'a's a means for withdrawing the bottom from out of the receptacle, as the lower edge of the flange is turned over upon itself to provide a circum- 'f erentiel'channel n' as a means by which a,

tool may engage in the channel'ifor the pur- I pose of drawing the bottom out ofthe receptacle. In Fig-51 have shown an alternativeiorm of a. push bottom ,for the rece tecle, being com osed oftwo sections.

this form a righ angle flan e is formed on each section a and g), the ange of of the section 0 is adapted engage within the m- 'ner circumference of the section 1b. Formed. in the'hottoinpi the section p is an extension g pro ed with an .acute angle flange as a. means by which a tool may be used in purpose of withdrawing .the bottom from K out of the receptacle.

The press in which the receptacleis adapted to be contained :tnd by which the bottom is forced ,upwar consists of a suitable 110 'ing" sections 6" and t metal vcasting, comprising a bod part i a chiming section a, by, which t e press is udap ed to be fastened to ashelf, or cabinet, and a table 25 adapted to support the receptacle; The clamping section 0 consists of a cut-away section u, adapted to provide aws a andu' andis preferably situated at'the lower back part of the body 'part r. Extending throu h the lower jaw u 1s the screw shank o a thumb-nut 41 being for the purpose of firmly fastening the press in osition on a table, ledge or shelf. The to lo. sectionof the press adapted to support the receptacle, consists of two forwardly extendpreierabl formed mtegral with the front of the be y part 1*, one

immediately below the other leaving an mterval between adapted to admit an operatin hand-wheel w. Supported ontli e up er ta 1esection t-',.is a circular supporting k m adapted to carry the; receptac e a. I

The shank 'z enge in a screw threadedbore through t e-hi1 .of the hand-wheel w, and by the rotation'cf the hand-wheel between the table sectionti andt, the plunger head and screw threaded shank is vertica y adjustable.

which extends forwardly immediately above the plunger head-,-being adaptedto firmly toning e to edge of the rece taole when placed upon the sup orting dis :0, and to lateral 'misplacement when. upward pressure is efiected against the under side ofthe epush bottom b.

circling the sh 'ofthe'thum -nut 4 and interposed betweenthe lug 2 and. the top .fa'ceoi the bodyart r, is a helical compressiblej 6 :a' apted to hold the clamping ring- :ii'aylro m the's lows e receptacle containi turned upsettingl disk am, when. not adjusted downwar e thumb-gut to clamp-the receptacle rmly in position against 'im'splaoement 1n the preset;' The? 0 eration of th'edeuce 18 as folthe ink is oil of the raised section a! ofthe slip, top, by the insertion of an -sl1ar pointed'instrument between the ange t of the cap and the web ofthe slip cover. The hand-wheel w is then turned in a direction toforce the plunger head upward. The vertical raismg of the plunger head engaging on the undcr side of thepush bottom causes the bottom to slide upwardly within the receptacle with the natural result that the contents therein will be forcedout'through the opening 1- in the raised section d in the slip top a. On account of the usual consistency of print in'g-ink a bar of ink will rise vertically above the raised section. which maybe out off-by any ordinary knife, and removed to the place desired. To close the receptacle again the 'handwheel w is turned slightly inan opposite direction from that to raise the plunger .head, which will allow the push bottom to slightly sag in the center by the weight of the inlqby which action the contents of'the rece tacle will drop away from the openihg, m ,the slip top, and the cap may then be corklug cemented within the cap will clos 3 seal the opening f.
